I am hoping for 1. WFH to become available for my position.. or 2. A promotion sometime in 2020 to a position that is WFH. (Obviously the promotion is my first choice!!). I am 22 miles from work...and spend 1-1.5 hours in the car....EACH way! DC metro traffic is that bad! That takes so much time of my day...that’s why my posts are so boring...how many times can I say ‘wok up at 5:30...went to work at 6:30 and got home at 6:30 just in time to make dinner, eat and go to sleep!<br /><br />I am worried more about the social interaction. But I know that I can more easily find a zumba class...or whatnot to add in some social aspects!<br /><br />I love your plans for the next few months! You can do it!!!!<br /><br />And see...how quickly I forgot all that I wanted to say!!! I know there was more!!!!! Oh well. I’m rooting for you!
